Instead, pity the poor wretches whose eyes turn dark and cheeks become sallow as their will power seeps away. Rendered with a high degree of realism, Ito's drawings and storytelling more closely resemble Western comics than other Japanese imports.

It is not so that students leave knowing skill-sets or canons of materials, but rather that they leave knowing some and thirsting for more.
